Reversible iodine vapor capture using bipyridine-based covalent triazine framework: Experimental and computational investigations

To address the environmental issues arising from the emission of radiotoxic iodine from nuclear waste streams, developing high-capacity and recyclable adsorbents is urgently demanded. In this study, a nitrogen-rich covalent-triazine framework (CTF-bpy) was synthesized through the ionothermal synthet...
